Greetings, 
     I have, several times, found myself tuning to the wrong note. This 
happens when I go back and check something and the machine automatically 
hears a target partial and changes to it.  Minor thirds below will often 
occur.  This is not a problem once you get the discipline down.  You can omit 
the function and use a switch if you desire. 
    One big thing about the III for me is the temperament selection.  It 
makes it easy to load 14 temperamenti, which are easily applied to any FAC at 
the touch of a button.  Also, You can place a + 8 cent correction in each 
note of a temperament page, and instantly have a442 that you can use the 
pitch raise function with.  
     The octave stretch change is also very useful in tailoring tunings to 
specific venues, ( compressed for studio recording work, and expanded for 
jazz club etc.)
